haven’t used scaler myself, sorry. almost looked it up then decided not to in case i like it haha.

woke up at 430 this morning thinking about granular synthesis, i may have a problem. 🤣

It’s a music theory plugin.

I just need to keep repeating my mantra - ’I don’t need anymore synths, I don’t need anymore synths’ (buys discounted synth) 🙂

ah, i’ve got a kordbot for that, although i don’t use it as often as i should.

i will say, if you want to buy a synth you don’t need, look at pigments. this thing is fantastic.

mono-stereo Junkie XL is selling all his gear

Talk about clickbait - at the end he says he’s selling a lot of it but still keeping his favourite pieces.

I didn’t know he’d done so much film score work though, so at least I learned something from clicking on the video under false pretences.

      Praise be

          i’ve got another $25 voucher for plugin alliance that expires today and i’m not using it. if you want it, reply here or dm me and it’s yours.

            mono-stereo All that gear, all those sound tracks, all dosh… best thing he ever did was B Y Whop To The Y / Siyncho

              303abuser Excellent, any suggestions on what I should buy chaps? I have no plug ins of any sort at the moment. Just using the in built stuff with Ableton.

                  Amps is there anything you ‘need’ specifically? like a compressor, eq, synth, etc? i have several of their plugins, but mostly more expensive stuff that went on massive discount.

                  edit: looking at their page now, maybe check out some of the unfiltered audio stuff, their fx related software can be a lot of fun for sound design. like sandman pro, dent 2, fault are all good prices. you can also demo anything to try it first too.

                      303abuser As I have nothing, I would assume I need everything! But I guess a good reverb or compressor should be top of my list? Or is there a synth I can’t do without?

                          Amps i have lion and oberhausen which are both amazing, but not at this price. i bought both for less than $40 each. for compressors, i’m waiting for zip to go on sale, if i can get it for $40 or less, i’ll buy it.

                          i’m assuming a black friday sale is coming tomorrow or the next day, so i’d use this on something already cheap (you’ll get a handful of free utility plugins with it), then look for bigger stuff later this week based on the new sale.

                            Is the Unfiltered Audio stuff any good?

                            i love their stuff. i have lion, triad, byome, dent2, and spec ops. i will add that i paid about $120 total for all of it though, don’t go anywhere near list prices for them.

                            Sweet, just bough Fault.

                            All the compressors and reverbs where a bit pricey for my current tastes, so went with a cheap toy for want of a better description.

                              Amps that’ll be cool for sound design, the modulation system is really good. the expensive plugins, with the exception of 3 or 4 new ones, will all go on sale for $50 or less at some point and you can combine those with loyalty vouchers, that’s the way to go.

                                Winner. I don’t really want to buy loads of stuff at the moment, I’m still working out the basics, but I’m sure that will all change soon enough.
